Street art copyright issues?, by iamzero on Jun 26, 2017 17:57:48 GMT 1, Thinking about the images Invader uses from the video game someone obviously sat down and designed those characters so is Invader liable for copyright payments if he gets caught? Much the same as RYCA uses the Acid Smiley a lot, is that a protected image too?

Street art copyright issues?, by daveart on Jun 26, 2017 18:48:19 GMT 1, I find this seems to happen throughout the scene - the artists seem to - i think 'appropriate' is the nicest term - images from around the various brands in the world. i do find it a bit ironic though when artists scream bloody murder when a brand uses their art as a background or it shows up in an ad somewhere.... then it's all lawyers and intellectual property ..blah blah. bottom line to me.. its all about the money and which party happens to have a lawyer on speed dial..
not being a lawyer - my 2 cents is he is probably fine doing art but if he tried to make an electronic game he would pounced on and stopped quickly.

If some other vandal or urban artist decided to start slapping their own mosaic version of Space Invaders on walls made in small square tiles I very much doubt that there would be anything Space Invader could do to prevent it either.
This article is interesting enough.
